I don't understand how this differs from how things were in the past.
I have and use a paid-for SunSolve account, so I don't know anything
about people trying to use Solaris without same.  Was it ever the case
that you could use Solaris and get all patches and never pay any money
at all?  Or were some patches only available if you paid?
